Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Gamba Osaka launch into their encounter with Vegalta Sendai.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vegalta Sendai that had 275 games and scored 158 goals.
  • 20' Vegalta Sendai is showing some good football. However, Vegalta Sendai are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 37' Another change for Vegalta Sendai made on 37 minute. Yoshiki Matsushita leaves to be changed by Keiya Shiihashi.
  • 42' Both keepers have barely been tested. Gamba Osaka and Vegalta Sendai are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 47' Takuma Abe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 275 appearances.
  • 52' Vegalta Sendai is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 57' Koji Hachisuka is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vegalta Sendai so far.
  • 62' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Simao Junior suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Takuma Abe. He replaces Shun Nagasawa on 67 minute.
  • 69' GOAL! Takashi Usami scores on 69.
  • 70' Shu Kurata has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shinya Yajima on 70 minute.
  • 74' Ryo Germain is replacing Kunimitsu Sekiguchi for the Vegalta Sendai side.
  • 77' A goal from the Brazil international Ademilson! He fires home on 77 to make it 2-0!
  • 81' The crowd applauds Takashi Usami as he leaves the pitch. Patric steps in for Gamba Osaka.
  • 86' Gamba Osaka are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Vegalta Sendai's shape.
  • 89' Susaeta gets the nod from Gamba Osaka. He replaces Yasuhito Endo and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 2-0 the final result. Vegalta Sendai will be bitterly disappointed.
